What is a trauma plate and how does it make a difference in conjunction with the standard issued “bullet-proof” vest?

About us

Our current projects

Day in and day out, we watch our husbands put on a soft armored “ballistic vest” before their shift. Many of us think this vest is bullet proof, it is not. The reality is that this vest will only stop most hand gun rounds, but it will not stop rifle and shotgun rounds. It is a terrible thing to think about but in this day and age, our police are facing more and more ambush, and active shooter scenarios. Many of these suspects are armed with rifles, and officers without outside body armor are left unprotected.
